I just wanted to share my PPR details with anybody who is curious, and also ask a question that everybody seems to be asking.
My PPR was an email with 2 attached documents. The email just said:
Dear Applicant,
Please find attached an acknowledgment receipt and a request for documents/information in relation to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
If you received this communication via email, please note that another copy will not be mailed to you.
Yours sincerely,
Family Reunification Unit
Visa and Immigration Section
Embassy of Canada / Ambassade du Canada
Manila / Manille...
Attached were 2 PDF's. The first one is an Appendix A form, a little bit different then the one downloaded online, to be filled in hand. Name of that file is "Appendix A (PHL) 16Nov12.PDF" First page is an Appendix A form, and this footer:
Passport request - IRPA (11/2012 PHL)
THEN, it goes on to a second page, which is the Appendix B Photo Specifications, same footer, Passport request - IRPA (11/2012 PHL)
It seems like the two are attached as a standard thing to send out. In the next PDF, there's no request for photos. Everybody who got a PPR this week is asking the same thing - to send, or not to send photos when they specifically didn't mention them, aside from the form attached to Appendix A.
Here's the details of the second PDF:
AOR (FILE #) (MR.STEPH C)
It has a heading with a logo, barcode, important details. Text reads:
Dear MR STEPH C:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received at the Embassy of
Canada in Manila on 27 September 2012.
A file has been created with the application number noted above. Please ensure that you quote this
application number in any future correspondence with our office.
At the end of this document is a request for additional documentation required within 45 days.
Once you have complied with this request, if any additional information or documentation is required to
assess your application, we will contact you or your designated representative.
Please note that the documentation requested in this letter is required even if you receive a subsequent
letter from our office asking for additional documentation.
Due to limited resources dedicated to processing the thousands of applications currently in process, we
are unable to respond to requests for status updates on your file if they fall within the average processing
times.
Interview
You are not required to present yourself in person at the Embassy unless you are specifically requested to
do so or specifically convoked to an interview. A decision will be made by an officer regarding whether
or not an interview is reasonably required in due course. At this time, no interview has been scheduled.
If an officer determines that an interview is required, you will be notified at a later date. You will be
notified in writing of any requirements for your interview, if required, prior to the date of the interview,
and you will be provided with further instructions at that time.
Change in circumstance
Please advise by fax or email if there is a change in your personal circumstances, or the personal
circumstances of any of your family members. This might include situations such as the birth of a child, a
marriage, a legal separation, annulment, or divorce. (See our contact information below.) You are required to report any changes in family composition for members of your family (whether
accompanying you to Canada or not) without delay. This includes situations in which your or one of the
children included on your application has become the parent of a child.
Exclusion: Unexamined Family Members
Please be advised that paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
excludes from future sponsorship any foreign national who is not declared/examined at the time his/her
prospective sponsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If you (or any of your family members)
fails to declare and present for examination any family member as defined by the Regulations, then you
(or your family member) will not be able to sponsor that undeclared family member at a later date as a
member of the family class.
Subsection 1(3) of the Regulations defines “family member” in respect of a person as (a) the spouse or
common-law partner of the person; (b) a dependent child of the person or of the person’s spouse or
common law partner; and (c) a dependent child of a dependent child referred to in paragraph (b). Please
consult section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations for the definitions for “Common
law partner” and “dependent child”.
All family members, whether or not they are accompanying you to Canada, MUST be declared and
presented for examination to assess whether they are admissible to Canada. A false declaration on your
IMM5406 (Additional Family Information form), any failure to declare a family member, or failure to
present a “family member” for examination may be found to constitute misrepresentation and may render
you inadmissible to Canada.
Notification in Writing
You must also inform us in writing of any
• Change of address, including change of e-mail address (for any family member including children
who may have a school address as well as a home address)
• Change or cancellation of immigration representative; or
• Request for withdrawal of your application.

increased speed and security of delivery. Passport(s) with immigrant visa(s), Confirmation of Permanent
Residence Form(s), and/or original documents that we are returning to you will also be sent by this
method. At the time of delivery, payment must first be paid to the courier company before they will
release the package. If you do not wish to pay for a costlier international shipment, please provide a
delivery address in the Philippines.
Additional Document/Information Requirements at This Time
In order to continue processing your application, we require the following information and/or documents:
• Fully Completed Appendix A (attached) for you and each of your family members, whether
accompanying you to Canada or not. Passport details are not required for any family member
who is not accompanying you to Canada. (Each person should complete his/her own form.)
• Original NSO Advisory on Marriages for yourself
• Original Passport(s) for you and each family member who will accompany you to Canada
To ensure timely processing and facilitate your travel, we strongly recommend that you submit
the new red-coloured passports currently being issued by the Philippines authorities as they are
in compliance with the machine-readable passport Requirement of the International Civil
Aviation Organization.
